The most beneficial effect the murder had was that it got people talking about how much they hate the American health insurance system.
He should be
strappedcarrying his holy weapon.Just like Antioch and the Holy Hand Grenade
He can’t be a saint until he dies.
and the mower sputters to a halt
I’m not well versed in the saints, but I think this is a better origin story than most.
All we need is a tearful prayer, with a vow towards some further action: even if it’s just in a cell for the rest of his life.
And then he is on the same level, in my opinion, of some medieval saints I know a little about.
Could easily be a saint for denied claims and other obstacles in healing.
By the rules the catholic church also needs one (or many) testimonies from the faithful that their prayers were answered specifically when they prayed for Luigi to intercede on their behalf.
I never understood intercession, it sounds like God is too busy to return my calls so instead I leave a message with his receptionist?
Love everything about it except for the Spez watermark
Fixed it!
Tight.
Blessed
I would love some nice glossy prayer cards like this to leave around town.

They’d make a good pair
Sir Luigi of Loxley
You guys do realize that you are glorifying a literal murderer, right? Someone who killed a human being in cold blood.
Okay, just checking.
cold blood
No, he seemed pretty justifiably angry.
The guy he allegedly killed on the other hand almost certainly had ice in his veins approving denial policies that would make his company a lot of money by denying the necessary care his customers/marks paid for in advance through premiums. Now those customers/marks are dead with more on the way at their hands, and they keep all those dead customers/marks premiums. Score amirite?
Whoever sits in that chair has to be a cold blooded sociopath that murders with indifference. That’s the job.
The glorious shareholders demand it. Bezos has a pet mega yacht for his main mega yacht and they have fomo.
What are you talking about??? We never glorified that CEO!!
Someone who killed a human being in cold blood.
Someone who killed someone who kills people by pretending to be a health insurance, whilst not paying them when people try to use said insurance in cold blood.
The sentence is a little longer if you give the full context. Nobody was innocent here.
I wouldn’t call the murder. Totally unfair and unethical yes but not murder.
Okay scab
All of our hands are at least speckled with blood for complicity in reaping the benifits of our society?

Yes. That’s why we’re here. Thank you.
how many has that CEO killed?
So you’re saying you’re pro vigilantes and pro death penalty without court order?
Besides, that CEO didn’t kill anyone personally. One could argue you killed a few kids yourself by buying cheap electronics and clothing. If you now start just killing people that you think deserve dying because of some moral standard you think you have, you’re a fucking lunatic without any moral standard.
Can you explain why only victims of the likes of Thompson should fear, but the CEOs don’t need to fear even though they profit from rejecting life- or health-saving treatments?
So, Hitler wasn’t bad. Stalin was OK, didn’t kill anyone right?
But their decisions did. Their position of power allowed them to.
Just cause they didn’t murder directly doesn’t mean they played a fair game. They knew exactly what they were doing. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes goes for bad people too.
The CEO is not a violent dictator commiting war crimes
The CEO is however a robber baron operating at the times of peace, using different methods but achieving the same end - people dying, most often miserably. I don’t see how that’s better.
This is why I get tired of Lemmy. Constant extreme views with little rational thought
I’m sorry, but I don’t think it’s so radical not grieving after a person who is the head of a corporation of which sole purpose is to take money from people for a promise of payout when things go dire, and then refusing when the times comes, leaving them exposed at the most miserable time of their entire lives…
Insurance companies are not banks, they don’t take deposits and return them to you with huge margin when you need it most. They would be operating at massive loss for each client.
Right, but still a person who had a part in making the lives of lots of people miserable or unnecessarily short.
If a CEO isn’t responsible for the policies of the company they’re CEO of, why would you need a CEO in the first place?
Hitler killed Hitler. Pretty good score.
^(It’s fucking sarcasm, of course.)
Honestly that fact was known to me, but I just realized he was the good guy/hero we needed after what he did…
He didn’t kill personally, he just gave orders to other people to kill people.
Which means his killer didn’t kill anyone personally either, he just pressed some trigger and the gun did everything else
